Amendment to Revenue
Bill Strikes at Allied
Blacklist and Mails
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Sept. s.—Drastic
amendments to the revenue bill, strik
ing at the allied blacklist and British
interferences with American mails,
were adopted to-day by the Senate and
created consternation among the diplo
matic representatives of the Allies.
In allied quarters it was declared
that the enactment of the amendments
into law would constitute nothing less
than a nonintereourse act preliminary
to a commercial warfare with possi
bilities of far-reaching consequences.
Until the retaliatory amendments
become law with the President's sig
nature the Allies technically have
nothing to protest about, but there aro
assurances that representations will be
made if the amendments stay-in the
bill.
MAY REf/K VSK CIVILIANS
By Associated Press
F.erlln, Germany, Sept. 2, via Lon
don, Sept. 5. The thousands of
civilians interned In Germany and
Ernland may be released and the dif
ficult problem of concentration camps
solved altogether if a plan now under
consideration is adopted. The idea is
to exchange all civilians on parole not
to serve during the war. For some
time the Gorman and British authori
ties, through the intermediation of the
American ambassador at Berlin, James
W. Gerard, have been working on a
proposal to exchange all Interned
civilians over the military age, 45.
COUNCIL WON'T
RESCIND MEASURE
[Continued From Flint Page]
had not been approved by the Plan
ning Commission, that the structure as
proposed would be a detriment to the
district In question, and that the pre
cedent thus established might work
irreparable harm in the future. It
was also Intimated that Judicial pro
ceedings to test the legality of the
measure might follow.
"Receive and File" Letter
Council unanimously voted to "re
ceive and file" the committee request
after the question had been threshed
out pro and con by Commissioners E.
Z. Gross, W. H. Lynch and W. L. Gor
gas.
Commissioner Gross Intimated'that
if the measure be not legal, the matter
could well be testod in the courts.
Council also adopted a resolution
calling the City Planning Commis
sion's attention to the fact that the
time limit for consideration of the
plans for the proposed new Walnut
street bridge had expired and asked
that the Planners return the plans to
Council as soon as possible.
Want More Time
The Planners had asked for further
time in the matter although in Its com
munication on the subject It suggest
ed that tho proposed construction, in
the Commission's opinion, was unnec
essary that ample facilities for hand
ling the Hill traffic via the Market
street subway and the proposed bridge
at State Btreet would be possible.
Following the adoption of this
measure Mr. Lynch offered a resolu
tion authorizing the preparation of a
request to the Pennsylvania Public
Service Commission for a certificate of
public convenience for the proposed
viaduct.
Wetzel, Chief
Council also approved of Mayor
Meals recommendation of J. Edward
Wetzel to bo chief of police tempo
rarily, to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of J. Thomas Zcil. No suc
cessor to Wetzel who Is now lieutenant
was suggested although in municipal
circles it is generally understood that
Sergeant Frank Page will succeed him.
The awarding of the paving con
tracts for River, Maclay, Honey and
Susquehanna streets to the Central
Construction and Supply Company by
Mr. Lynch was approved and similar
action was taken on a contract ar
ranged between the city and Philadel
phia and Reading railroad Indemni
fying the city for possible damages in
cident to sewer changes made neces
sary by the construction of the Tenth
street siding crossing.
No More Glaring; Headlights
Tho ordinance prohibiting the use
of glaring headllgrts on motor ve
hicles within the city limits was passed
finally. The measure becomes effec
tive within ten days, although Mr.
Bowman wanted an extension of time
to thirty. Mayor Meals said that those
who couldn't afford the lights could
"soap 'em." Other ordinances passed
finally provided for tho construction of
half a dozen sewers on the Hill.
Discussion of the Swift & Company
bridge measure followed the reading
of the Chamber of Commerce com
mittee's letter.
Councllmen's Views »
Commissioner Gorgas said he ques
tioned Whether Council could act now
in view of the fact that the time limit
for reconsideration had expired. Com
missioner Lynch, who had introduced
the measure "by request," supported it.
"If there is a growing manufactur
ing district anywhere in town, it is at
this point,' declared Mr. Lynch, "and
I do not think we should interfei'e
with the progress and development of
the manufacturing section. I, for one,
can't see that there should be any ob
jection to it and I do not think it will
detract in any way from the surround
ing district."
Mr. Gross made a more lengthy talk.
"While I do not wish," said the Park
Commissioner, "to appear to he acting
In defiance of the City Planning Com
mission, wo must remember that the
commission has no veto power, and
that because there are five men on
the planning commission and an equal
number in the personnel of the City
Council, should it not be considered
that this question is a matter of five
men's judgment against the Judgment
of five other men?
"Personally, I don't believe the con
struction of thiß bridge will detract
from the beauty of the surroundings
or the esthetic value of the section.
Inasmuch as the time for any recon
sideration of the measure seems to
have passed, and inasmuch as the sug
gestion has been made that the ques
tion could bo tested in the courts, I
think that Council would perhaps do
well to let the legal status of the mat
ter be passed upon. I want to put my
self on record as having or wanting
nothing but tho right to my own
opinion."
The Walnut street bridge problem
discussion followed the reading of this
letter from the city planners:
"AVe wish to report that the Walnut
street bridge plan was submitted to us
and after examination and discussion
on motion duly made and carried the
president was directed to Inform Coun
cil that this commission is still of the
opinion that tho building of this bridge
would be a blunder from both eco
nomic and traffic standpoints for tho
reason that the widening of the Mar
ket street subway and the building of
a new bridge at State street#would
render unnecessary a bridge at Walnut
street and that theso two improve
ments could bo made with the assist
ance of the railroad and the Common
wealth at a cost not much greater than
the cost of the Walnut street: bridge.
"However, if the matter before the
commission at this time is the mero
approval of tho plans, wo must ask for
more time In order to give you our
best, opinion."
New ordinances offered to-day In
cluded the following:
By Mr. Lynch—Authorizing construc
tion of a 10-inch sewer in Manada
street from Nineteenth and Twentieth
and vacating Brown street from Fif
teenth to Sixteenth. The vacation of
this strip of Brown street finally takes
the whole street from the map and
eliminates a bono of councllmanlc con
tention of many years.

Rumanians Advanced
Forty-Eight Miles in First
Five Days of Offensive
By Associated Press
Paris, Sept. s.—The advance of the
Rumanian troops In the first five days
of their campaign was considerable
and at some points was as much as
eU;htv Kilometers (about forty-eight
miles'), says a dispatch from Urgeni
under date of Saturday to the Petit
Parlslen. The forward march, how
ever, now has been somewhat slack
ened because oS the difficulty of send
ing revlctualing convoys. Although
the ground on tho eastern Hungarian
frontier was unfavorable for the Ru
manians, the correspondent said they
were successful in their dash across
the river and now occupy the valleys.
Rumania's declaration of war, tho
dispatch adds, was so unexpected by
Austria that only a few troops of the
dual monarchy were on the Rumanian
frontier and these were not on guard
when hostilities were begun. Half an
hour beforo war was declared Hun
garian officers were drinking with Ru
manians at a frontier railroad station.
Soon afterward a Rumanian outpost
entered tho station, took tho officers
as prisoners and then captured quan
tities of materials. The Rumanian
oftensiare was so sudden that the Aus
trian* had not timo to blow up bridges
nor tunnels.

BESSEMER STEEL
MADE FIRST HERE
H. H. Campbell, Former Steel
ton Man, Writes Interesting
History of Process
An Interesting history of the Besse
mer process of steel making, in which
some sidelights are thrown upon the
early days of the Steelton plant, is
printed In a recent Issue of the Iron
Age. H. H. Campbell, a former vice
president and general manager of the
old Pennsylvania Steel Company and
an authority on the subject, is the
author. Mr. Campbell is a former
president of Steelton council and
widely known in the borough.
In his article Mr. Campbell mentions
that the first fully equipped chemical
laboratory of any Iron plant In the
country was established at Steelton in
18f>y and was in charge of Andrew S.
McCreath, a local chemist. In part
Mr. Campbell says:
"Bessemer steel was made at Wyan
dotte, Mich., In 1864, and at Troy,
N. Y., in 1865; but operations were
not carried on regularly and copimer
clally until after the Steelton plant was
hulk In 1868, so that as late as 1870
the whole country made only 37,000
tons of bessemer steel. It must be
remembered, however, that while
Europe was building converters, we
were engaged In civil war, and for
four years the destruction of capital
and the loss of life in proportion to
our wealth and population at that time
were greater than the waste of mortey
and of life In the European maelstrom
to-day.
"For a long time the pig Iron used
at Steelton was brought from the west
cocst of England and mixed with iron
from Cornwall, Pa., but blast furnaces
wore built in 1872, which used a large
proportion of anthracite as fuel, and
smelted the low-phosphorus magnetites

1881 the yard at Steelton contained at

different localities, including Pennsyl

on record that the Pennsylvania Steel

in 1869 and that it was in regular op

McCreath, now of Harrisburg, as
chemist. Tills probably was the first

British Burrow Through
German Bulwark in Renewal
of Great Drive Along Somme
By Special Correspondence
With The British Armies In
Sept. 4 (via London, Sept. 6.) —A won
derful spectacle of war visible to-day
from a high point near the junction
of the French and British armies. To
the north lay a dark patch—the ruins
of Gulllemont—infringed by a wave
like earthy line of old second line
German trenches facing Trones wood
across a space of ten city blocks,
which is veined like a frog's foot with
trenches and runways the British had
dug.
For six weeks the British burrowed
against the Germans over this shell
ruptured, bullet-riddled field. Yester
day was a day of successful British
affort to break through this German
bulwark. The British artillery had
not destroyed all of the deep dugouts,
but the curtain of intensified shell
fire kept the machine gunners down,
and out of those dugouts after half
an hour's work the British infantry
turned out some six hundred prisoners.
A little farther beyond Gulllemont,
perhaps three times the distance from
second base to the home plate is a
sunken road, at the north end of
which is another patch—the ruins of
Ginchy—where the fighting between
Briton and German surges back and
forth between barricades and cellars
and any kind of cover that the men
can throw up out of the debris. The
British seem to be firmly established
in the sunken road. All night they
were digging themselves Into holes
there. This was just as much their
objective as second base is to a base
ball player who has just made a two
base hit. If they tried to go farther
because the going was easy they
might be put out. That happened yes
terday in some points of the attack,
and it sometimes does, thanks to
over-eagerness.
Meet Prussians With Bayonet
At'the southern end of the sunken
road Is a flngerpolnt of the green
wedge wood, and below this lay Falfe
mont farm, where the British attack
stopped yesterday. Here the Prussian
guard left their trenches in a charge
to meet the British attack half way.
Thus they came bayonet to bayonet.
The big gun could send no shells, the
machine guns no bullets for fear of
hitting their own men. All the ma
chinery of war, with its missiles which
kill men at long range, formed a ring
around these combatants, who fought
virtually to extinction with cold steel.
Waves Disappear
To-day around Falfemont farm the
picture was intimate vet incompre
hensible to observers in its ebb and
flow of attack. The contrast between
Prussian and British methods stood
out as in a panorama. The British
charge, moving up with each unit
seeming to act for itself, and yet keep
ing its formation and then the Ger
man counter attack in a regular wave
followed by another, dipping with the
undulations of the ground. Figures in
the first wave began to drop as the
British machine guns started to rattle,
and yet the second wave came on in a
way that made a British officer, with
characteristic sportsmanship, exclaim:
"Magnificent! Topping!" The second
wave melted on the ground where the
first, wave had disappeared.
But the results were confused. An
observer could only tell that charges
were met by counter charges, while
machine guns in hidden places wait
for their game with their murderous
plasts. It is not always to be t<jld
whether figures leaving the trenches
were men retreating or prisoners un
der escort. Fast running figures from
both sides to their rear were either
messengers bringing back word of the
situation to their commanders when
all other. signals failed to work or
they were running to get more bombs
whose puffs of smoke were visible here
and there. Whether these gallant fel
lows would get through without being
hit was the question. Most of the
time they were lost to view in mists
of shells smoke.
Movo Nearer Peronne
Further south of tho blue of the
French mingled -with the khaki of the
British as tho men, like ants, appear
ed and disappeared in tho earth, and
hack of the lines French and British,
guns and transport, British wounded
and French wounded came along the
same path with German prisoners.
Rome times British litter bearers took
Frenchmen while French took Briton
and groups of British cheered the
French after their successes of yester
day.
General Foch's steel-throated ora*,
tors were very busy down there in
the green lowland of the winding
Somme, where shrapnel smoke lay
soft aeralnst the foliage, fresh from
the night's rain and across the Somme
as far as tho eye could see ran 'thin
canopy of (lashes from tiers of guns
that seemed to answer in their regular
firing to the touch of some
hand.
Nearer and nearer Peronne that)
swath of fire moved with every battle*
"Tho Germans did not know hox*
many guns Father Joffre had up his
Bleeve, said a French soldier, "and
General Foch knows how to use
them."
As Indicative of the enormous gun
fire, a British officer estimated thaC
the Germans fired ten thousand gaa
shells in one day.
To-night the official reports are
that the Germans still hold Falfemont
farm after the afternoon's icrlmmagt
charges and counter charges.
